Drinking
Rum, rum and more rum. The Brugal rum factory is a popular destination for tours, and you can buy it everywhere. While you are on a tour of any kind you will undoubtedly be plied with rum. As the tour guide on our Paradise Island tour joked: "We have a wide assortment of drinks: coke, sprite, rum and coke, rum and sprite, or for those who don't like mixed drinks, rum and rum." I'm not a big rum fan but it is actually not bad. If you're at an all-inclusive there is also a wide assortment of other local spirits available to make whatever tropical highballs your heart desires. Tipping the bartender sometimes at an all-inclusive is officially not necessary, however, it may get you faster service and it will most certainly get you friendlier service.
